Iraqi women try to help Americans see the country through their eyeshttp://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/10821339p-11739307c.html By Diana Griego Erwin -- Bee ColumnistPublished 2:15 am PDT Tuesday, September 21,
Before Iraq's liberation, Ahood al-Fadhal spent her days preoccupied with how she and her husband would feed their three children.The rice and flour they could get was buggy. Three brothers were killed by the regime of Saddam Hussein, and her husband was imprisoned for three years. In her lifetime, she never expected to see a free Iraq.
Since Saddam's overthrow, al-Fadhal finds life moving in directions previously unimaginable. She teaches literacy classes and writes a biweekly newsletter for women; she was elected to a district council seat in Basra as an advocate for women's rights.
